In commit 0bf24eb16ec698d7759657cb810385ec7388f74c, we added the current
directory explicitly to pytest's `pythonpath` configuration to avoid
failing tests.  Further analysis revealed that the culprit was the
multiprocessing module with the `spawn` method, which needs to re-import
the module it is called from (and other helper code from the
`tests.data` and `tests.machinery` submodules), but is not compatible
with some ways of modifying Python's module search path before module
loading.

According to my search results, the common way of dealing with this
problem is instead to add the `tests` path to `pythonpath`, instead of
the parent directory.  Furthermore, it is unnecessary to explicitly add
the `src` directory to `pythonpath`, as the virtualenv in which the
tests run already has `derivepassphrase` installed.  So we can reduce
the `pythonpath` to only `tests`, and add an appropriate comment as to
why this entry specifically is needed.

We also add comments to the entries in `testpaths`, because it may not
be immediately obvious that the `src` entry is needed for the doctests.
